Mood and Anxiety Ambulatory Services (MAAS)

The Mood and Anxiety Ambulatory Services provide ambulatory
services to clients with mood and anxiety disorders. Psychiatrists, social workers, occupational
therapists, psychologists, nurses, psychometrists and researchers staff the
program. MAAS is a specialty service providing evidence-based clinical care,
education and research. The MAAS inter-professional team offers consultations,
time-limited treatment and follow-up, education and services for families.

In addition, MAAS offers rapid service to clients with Early
Psychosis. Access to specialized outreach services is made possible through
partnership with the Mood and Psychosis Early Intervention team of the Canadian Mental Health Association, Toronto branch.

If suitable, clients may be offered an opportunity to
participate in research spanning basic science to direct patient care.
Particular research interests include early intervention and exploring the
gene/environment interaction.
